Summary
This study tests a stepped care model for delivering cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) to 1100 adults across 18 districts in Hong Kong. Participants first receive online self-help CBT-I, and those who need more support get therapist-guided sessions. The goal is to see if this approach improves sleep and is practical to roll out widely.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) delivered via online self-help and therapist-guided sessions
What this could lead to
If successful, this stepped care model could make effective insomnia treatment more accessible and scalable for large populations.
What could go wrong
This is a pragmatic real-world trial, not a placebo-controlled study, so results may be influenced by external factors. Dropout rates may be high, and the approach may be less effective for people with severe mental health conditions.
